 Services

Service Business Unit

The Services Business Unit is a dedicated resource within Prysmian for the provision of maintenance on high voltage
cable systems. Prysmian has many decades of experience in the installation, maintenance and repair of fluid filled
cables and as such can provide expertise in relation to all aspects of fluid filled networks.

Services include
Pump ups of fluid filled circuits
Cable fault location and repair
Circuit condition assessments
Engineering feasibility studies

PFT Leak Detection Services

The Services Business Unit is at the forefront of non-invasive detection of leaks from fluid filled cables. A leak is
the first sign that a fluid filled cable is damaged. Left alone the cable will run dry and fail, requiring expensive cable
replacement. Topping up the cables with more cable fluid will prevent the cables running dry, but now cable fluid is
being pumped directly into the environment.

Prysmian PFT solutions is here to help – Your 3 step guide to repairing leaking cables
1. Inject the cable circuit with cable oil containing the PFT tracer
2. Cover the cable route (by van or foot) ‘sniffing’ for traces of the PFT from the leak, using a sophisticated
chemical detector
3. Once the PFT ‘hot spot’ has been located, excavate down and repair the cable in the conventional manner.

Prysmian is the only operative who can provide the complete service
Inject – Detect – Repair

Prysmian PFT Detection Van

HV Testing
The Services Business Unit is the only organisation with UK based mobile high voltage test equipment. Available
at competitive rates, Prysmian has two mobile test trailers that can independently test circuits at 66kV/132kV or
combined, test circuits at 275/400kV. Experienced test engineers are available to discuss test requirements, assess
site conditions and help with test planning prior to visiting site with the test equipment

• HV DC testing
• AC testing from 50kV to 400kV
• Partial discharge monitoring
• Sheath fault location

 Services

In response to customer demand, Prysmian has compiled a package of products suitable for
the majority of 132 kV cabling requirements. These products are available "off the shelf".
Ideal for emergency situations where products are required urgently, or for projects where
cable demand would be below minimum manufacturing quantities.

Problem Solver
Emergency

The XLPE Xpress service is ideal if you experience any of the following emergency situations:

• Breakdown
• Supplier Letdown
• System Redesign
• Temporary Diversion

Planned

Also ideal for situations where there is only a small cable requirement or where lead time
exceeds project requirements.

132 kV Composite
Products Termination

The standard product portfolio is:

• 132 kV XLPE cable 630mm² Cu/Pb sheath 25kA/3s

• 132 kV XLPE cable 1000mm² Cu/Pb sheath 40kA/3s
• Composite Outdoor Terminations - to suit above cables
• Single Core Transition Joints - to suit above cables
• Three Core Transition Joints - to suit above cables
• Link Boxes
• Bonding Lead

All items offered fully comply with the relevant British Standards, for the majority of
requirements within the UK

Equipment is supported by the expertise of Prysmian design engineering
